在Virtools Dev中用Resources/ Create New Data Resources创建新的资源库,把准备好的各种*.nmo资源文件拷贝到资源库相应的文件夹中,Virtools Dev将自动分类并加载。这步工作是为在Virtools中进行拖放操作做好前期准备。对每个不同的虚拟实验项目应建立单独的资源库,这样更便于后期的修改更新及文件管理。
虚拟实验在完成建模及交互设定后,可以采用两种方式进行发布:一种是通过“Export to Virtools Player”命令直接保存为*.vmo格式;另一种是通过“Creat Web Page”命令,将文件保存为htm格式。这样,客户端只需下载并安装插件“3D Life Play”即可进行虚拟实验。
1.用户(User)的基础属性设置。虚拟角色不能漂在空中,也不能穿透实体对象,为此,需设定角色始终在地板上,能对实体对象进行碰撞检测,同时,可通过键盘实现对虚拟角色的控制。建立用户脚本,设定相关参数,所需的BBs为:Enhanced Character Keep On Floor、Keyboard Controller、Prevent Collision、Key Event、Send Message,具体的脚本流程如图5所示。

Abstract: By exploiting virtual experiment system, both teaching modes and learning methods can be enriched, and in the meantime, new platforms and room are provided or expanded for innovation in practical teaching. To reinforce the cons***ction of Modern Educational Technology, the national high-grade curriculum, prototype of virtual experiment system is researched and developed. Scheme for cons***cting virtual experiment system by virtual reality and multimedia technology is proposed based on recognition science and cons***ctivism theory, and the basic routine of system development is also discussed in details. To demonstrate the key technologies, such as Moodle platform and virtools, several illustrations of virtual experiment system are presented.
